What is a "dome"?
A dome is a rounded, curved roof or ceiling that looks like the top half of a sphere. It is often used in large buildings such as churches, mosques, and government structures to create a grand and open space. The dome design evenly distributes weight, making the structure strong and stable. Its shape also allows for good acoustics and can help with natural lighting. Domes are admired for their impressive appearance and are often a central feature in architectural design.
